Wonder Woman tells the story of an Amazonian princess, daughter of Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons, who lives on a craggy Mediterranean island. This movie is an origin story, meaning the movie portrays how Wonder Woman came to be. After a World War I pilot (Steve Trevor) crash-lands offshore, Diana rescues him, which leads to a battle with German forces who are ultimately felled by the woman’s acrobatic swordplay and superb equestrian skills. After the battle, Diana and Steve Trevor leave the island to go save the world from mass destruction. For Trevor, the mission is to stop a German general and his star inventor from unleashing chemical weapons on Allied forces, whilst for Diana, it’s nothing less than stopping Ares, the Greek god of war.

The audience was so impressed by Diana Prince’s dedication to saving the world from destruction that they felt empowered themselves. Many critics were impressed by the storyline and plot of this movie. A Twitter user claimed that the movie stuck to the original comic storyline but had a touch of modern pop-culture. There were multiple scenes where the movie empowered women. New York Times wrote, “‘Wonder Woman’ tells an interesting, not entirely predictable story…” and Washington Post claims the movie, “brings an exhilarating, vicarious kick to the sagging, bagging table” of male lead characters. The movie’s box office made over $400 billion. Not only is Wonder Woman popular, it is ubiquitously well-loved too!
